THumpre Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 I was putzing around with the scenario editor today and I happened across this Italian AC. The in-game model looks like it has a small bore cannon as armament but the info states that the 1ZM had 2 Co-ax. MGs. I'm certainly no grog and I'm not hollering bug, but does anyone have a picture of this AC? Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 As with a number of AFVs in the CM series, some are not represented with their exact model. In this case the Autoblinda IZM is represented with an Autoblinda 40/41 - a much newer and different armored car. The IZM is based on a Lancia light truck chassis (somewhat similar in appearance to an old Rolls-Royce) with a turret. Here's some pictures of Autoblinda IZ series: SPWAW's "Across the Wire" - the picture in the upper left is one of the IZ series; possibly the IZM Italian Armored Cars 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Ah! That explains it. I opened a scenario last night, may have been Beda Fomm, and noticed the discrepancy on some vehicles there. Is there any chance the models will be corrected, or is this a vain hope? Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco QNS Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 _ Beg pardon, but that is neither an IZ or IZM. This is an IZM And an IZ was almost identical, but with a mini-turret on top of its turret, mounting another MG. Around 15 vehicles were used during the SCW. The 11 survivors were returned to Italy or/and NA.
